This petition was started because of a racist message that was painted on a "spirit rock" at South Davidson High School. A Snapchat video was made by a group of young people standing around the rock. The word "kill" followed by a racial slur to people who happen to be black was written on the rock.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to bring a zero-tolerance policy for racism in the school system. The policy should bring significant consequences to those who bully, harass, discriminate or threaten based on race. These consequences should include the appropriate disciplinary action in the form of suspension up to criminal charges for those who communicate threats towards a particular race of people within the school system. These criminal charges would be in compliance with the communicating Threats N.C.G.S 14-277.1 statue. And any criminal charge for hate crimes towards certain races would be in compliance with the Hate Laws Prevention Act put in place by our senate.

With all due respect, 1. if religion hasn't stopped racism in our schools already, I fail to see how re-indoctrinating *now* will help. 2. (and the most important point) You can have all the religion you want in private schools, but unless you're allowing for all religions in publicly funded schools, a singular religion has no business there as the founding fathers went to great trouble to not favor one god over others.
Racism should never be tolerated or ignored. Students should be held accountable.
I 100% support this petition! No racism of any kind should be tolerated in our schools.
It's time everyone should realize that any one of us could have been born black, white, brown, etc. It's not our choice. Bringing God back into our schools could be the answer you're looking for. And whoever may be offended by it, does not need to be living in the United States of America. Our country was founded on God's principals, and living by those principals could help turn the hate around.
Make this petition to include ALL discrimination. Race,gender identity,partner preference, faith, economic class.
Love is what is needed
Peace not war#endracism!!!!

Racism of any kind should not be tolerated! Education is the key solution for change, for peace, and for help in the fight against racism and discrimination in general. Let’s practice motivation and love, not discrimination and hate. It’s time for a change!
